I’m with you on the photos—honestly, I think they saved my butt. My first accident, I was so flustered I could barely remember my own license plate, l...

I’ve definitely had agents look at me sideways when I start grilling them about exclusions. One guy actually said, “You must be a lawyer or something....

I’ve actually seen it happen, though not to me directly. My brother-in-law tried to keep quiet about a turbo swap on his old Subaru—figured it was “no...

Had a similar runaround with one of those “big guys”—felt like yelling into the void. Ended up switching to a smaller outfit in town. They’re not flas...

Yeah, it’s like they want us to jump through hoops just to use what we’ve earned. Reminds me of last month—tried to use a $10 coupon and points at the...

Had a similar close call a couple years back, but mine involved a runaway shopping cart. Sounds lame compared to porta-potties and golf balls, I know,...

Yeah, learned that the hard way. Had my old Mustang under mesh thinking it'd breathe better—ended up with a mini rainforest inside. Moisture absorbers...

Lucky you... but honestly, my experience was totally different. When I was shopping around last year, every insurer I talked to seemed obsessed with m...
